Sugar alternatives in milk tea?
I'm addicted to having tea everyday to the point I get withdrawal symptoms if I miss
Non sweet tea irks me, but processed sugar is not good
Can you suggest alternatives? "Healthy"
Google suggested honey 😒 dumb Also me don't like cinnamon, so that option gone

Use gudd (jaggery) or brown sugar
Jaggery tea tastes 🤮
What? You can't be serious.
The amount of sugar you take in tea is not a lot. Unless you drink 5-6 cups of tea a day.
And no sugar is not bad. It’s just sucrose man. Please don’t buy into these new age fad pseudo science shit that ill-literate and exploitative influencers peddle.
Drink tea without sugar. And drink it often, like 3-6 times daily as per your routine intake. After a couple of weeks, it would get normal. I am a tea addict and drink tea atleast 4 times during workdays.
Once you cut sugar out from tea, you will start enjoying flavour of tea to the fullest. I rotate between masala, ginger, pepper, elaichi, clove, lemongrass. Ditto for coffee.
Me too!! Tea without sugar tastes like real tea, the ginger, the elaichi, the tea’s taste, all those tastes real good. I have reduced sugar to almost 80%, from last 1+ year. My 100 gm of sugar has been there for 3+ months now. 500 gms sugar bought in 2022 had lasted 1 whole year. I do take sugar with Tea, but I take just a bit for taste, like less than a quarter spoon, must be two pinches 🤏😄
Exactly, I like a pinch rather than 2 spoonfuls of sugar earlier. Cannot stand the oversweetened tea now that my parents serve at home. Makes me giddy
Chai without sugar is useless. Shift to black coffee without sugar. I did that.
Chai without sugar is useless - agreed Shift to black coffee, can’t. I am addicted to tea, tried other caffeinated items too, other tea as well. But only milk tea clicks
Disagreed. Chai and Coffee without Sugar, or with very low sugar, tastes much better. I take hardly two pinches of sugar with Tea, and it tastes so great. I get the real taste of Tea. Now if somebody gives me normal amount of sugar with Tea, it feels like “Sharbat” to me, and I just can’t have it, feels like a punishment to have it. But of course, to those used to normal level of sugar, it will feel tasteless. It takes a bit of time to get off it, and once you get off, there is no going back!! I gradually reduced sugar from three quarter spoon, to half spoon, to quarter spoon, and now less than a quarter spoon (hardly two pinches of sugar).
So sorry to see such misinformation being peddled here. And when you push back you will get ad hominem attacks. For all the intelligent folks here, instead of reading from whatsapp university and instagram college, have a look at this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5133084/ This is a meta analysis of effect of sugar on body over multiple scientific studies. This covers proper testing mechanism and is a govt published documentation so there really is no one benefitting from this article becoming popular. One can find a lot of documents like that. Once again I have not said excessive sugar is not bad. It is bad. But that doesn't make sugar bad. Especially when a person is drinking a cup of tea once a day with just a teaspoon of sugar. Ignorance and arrogance about the said ignorance is definitely bad
You can use stevia or natural stevia or monkfruit sweetener
